Connecting

Jamo D 8 is equipped with gold-plated terminals which will accept heavy stripped cables. Your local Jamo dealer can advise you on

which cables to buy. In general, the longer the cable, the higher quality should be used to avoid signal loss in the cable itself. In terms of

sound quality it is therefore an advantage not to use cables which are longer than required, although the cables used to connect each of

the speakers should be roughly the same length.

Single wiring

If you wish to use cables with stripped ends, proceed as follows

1. Turn off the amplifier.

2. Gently strip off approximately 15 mm of the insulation on

the cable ends - be careful not to damage the cable wires.

3. Twist the wires.

4. Turn the terminal screws counterclockwise until the twisted

wires can easily be inserted into the holes.

5. Turn the terminal screws clockwise to secure the cables in

the terminals.

NOTE:

Verify that the wires from the + and - cables do not touch

each other, as a short-circuit could damage the amplifier’s

output stage.

Spikes

We recommend that you use the enclosed spikes (option supplied with D 870 + Stand 60). These ensure stability of the loudspeaker with

good mechanical contact to the surface, irrespective of the surface material used.

Always check that all spikes are adjusted so that the

loudspeaker sits without rocking, before the lock nuts are

tightened.

On hard surfaces (for instance wood or stone), D 870 can

be placed on the integrated console feet. If you use D 830

with Stand 60, the supplied rubber feet can be used to

protect the floor against the pointed spikes.

Note:

Never drag or push the loudspeaker across the floor after

mounting the spikes, as this will damage carpeting and

floorboards.

If you wish to connect each speaker with a single cable, the

supplied “bridges” should remain fitted between the two

sets of terminals.

The loudspeaker comes from Jamo with the “bridges” fitted

for single-wiring.
